Play has been called off the day. So that will be that. Just the 13 wickets today (and a collapse of 9 for 49 in that). Honours even at the end, or a nose ahead for either side.
Tamim Iqbal the standout batting, with a word to Momimul as well. The rest? Well, less said the better. To be fair, there was some good bowling as well. Moeen found his line and length and Stokes was outstanding again. Then Mehedi did his stuff with the new ball.

18-year-old off-spinner Mehedi Hasan takes five-for on debut
Mehedi Hasan says: 'Very happy to have taken five wickets on my international debut. England is a good Test team, I just wanted to bowl well.
The wicket is good, but it's spinning and helped me a lot. I am not tired, I have bowled a lot here in domestic cricket. We need to take the remaining three wickets early tomorrow and then bat well.'
Moeen Ali highest Test score in Asia
Stumps, Day 1: Attritional cricket at its very best. The day ends with the game delicately poised at a knife's edge with both teams refusing to concede an inch. On a wicket that looks more day three than one, the English top order fell cheaply to the spin web wound around by the Bangla spinners.
Led by the debutant, Mehedi Hasan, who carried the load of 33 overs in the day, the game seemed to be heading into the pockets of the hosts after the initial spell. But Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Woakes in the end combined to ensure that the fight doesn't perish and more importantly ensured that they reap the benefit of having had the opportunity to bat first on what promises to crumble by the tick of the clock.
